The father told Jason Talbot what had happened and both went out into the street to confront Hall, who was standing on the corner of Neath Street, Splott . Prosecutor Byron Broadstock said the defendant got off of his bike and ran towards Jason Talbot before pulling out a machete from his waistband and shouted "Come on then". Jason Talbot tried to grab Hall to prevent him from assaulting him but the weapon was swung at him and he immediately felt pain to the side of his head . Blood began pouring down his face as he grappled with the defendant and felt several more blows to his body and back. It was then he realised Hall was attacking him with a machete, as Jonathan Talbot tried desperately to pull a drainpipe off the wall to use in defence. Jonathan Talbot described the defendant swinging the machete at his son, slicing his left side above his hip. He tried to pull them apart but Hall swung the machete at Jonathan Hall's right shin, causing a deep cut. Another man approached the group and shouted for them to stop as the defendant left the scene on his bike. Both of the victims were taken to the University Hospital of Wales in Cardiff, where Jason Talbot was found to have suffered serious injuries to his head and body. He suffered a fracture and wound to the left side of his head which extended to the bone, and required staples. Jason Talbot also suffered bleeding to the head, a wound to the right side of the chest wall, grazes to the back and left arm, a wound to his left thigh, and a stab wound to the abdomen which extended to the underlying fatty tissue which had to be closed with stitches. Hall was arrested on March 30 and during his interview he denied the offences and claimed he wasn't involved, as well as providing a false alibi. The defendant, of Plasturton Avenue, Pontcanna , later pleaded guilty to wounding with intent, unlawful wounding, possession of a bladed article and criminal damage. He was initially charged with attempted murder, but this charge was not proceeded with. The court heard he was of previous good character. In a victim personal statement read to the court by Mr Broadstock, Jason Talbot said: "The whole incident affected me in so many different ways. I have suffered anxiety and depression. I constantly feel down and feel my old self anymore. I have been medicated for anxiety and depression due to my mental health getting worse and have issues sleeping due to this incident... "It was the worst pain I have felt. My body is full of scars from the incident and is a constant reminder of what Movado has done to me. I will always have a lump and indentation to my skull and suffer painful headaches, it has affected my self confidence and I am unable to hide the lump on my head. "I have lost one and a half stone due to stress and have lost my appetite so don't eat like I used to. I rarely leave the house and if I do to visit friends and family, I will go from one house to the next. I don't like public spaces and get the feeling people are watching and judging me. I am yet to go back to work since the incident." A statement from Jonathan Talbot said: "I am always up and looking up at the window whenever I hear a noise outside. When I am out and about with family, I am always looking over my shoulder. I have become incredibly anxious and always waiting for something to happen, even inside my house, for something to happen... "I am always thinking what more I could have done to protect my son. My son is my everything and the thought he could have been killed plays on my mind... A mark will be on my body for the rest of my life." In mitigation, William Bebb said his client understood the severity of the position he faces, and has spent four to five months on remand in custody. He said the defendant had been a talented rugby player and had played for the Cardiff Blues Academy - now Cardiff Rugby - when he was 14, as well as a Wales team training camp and captained Cardiff Schools at a match at the Principality Stadium. Sentencing, the Recorder of Cardiff Judge Tracey Lloyd-Clarke told the defendant the offence was too serious to be dealt with by anything short of an immediate custodial sentence. Hall was sentenced to two years and nine months detention at a young offenders' institute. He was also made subject to a restraining order for five years.
